    METALS

    and
    NON-METALS
    Metals

    • Metals are materials holding or possessing the characteristics of being


    shiny, hard, fusible, malleable, ductile, etc. Few examples of metals
    (materials) are – Gold, Silver, Aluminum, Copper, Iron, etc.
    Learning Competencies
    •The learners should be able to:
    • Describe some properties of metals and non-metals such as luster,
    malleability, ductility, and conductivity.

    • Code: S7MT-Ij-7
    Properties of Metals
    Luster
    • The property of metals which in the pure state usually shines. The
    shine on the metallic surface is the metallic luster. Metallic luster gives
    the shiny appearance of metals especially when they are hit by light.
    • Example: Gold
    Malleability
    • Most metals are malleable. Malleability refers to the property of
    metals by which they can be beaten into thin sheets.
    • Example: Aluminum
    Ductility
    • Most metals are ductile. Electrical wires are made from copper,
    aluminum, iron, and magnesium. This property of drawing the metal
    into thin wires is called ductility.
    • Example: Copper
    Conductivity
    • This property allows electricity to pass through in a material. Metals
    are good conductor of heat and electricity. The best conductors of
    electricity are silver and copper, however, lead and mercury are poor
    conductors of electricity.
    Sonorous
    • Metals are generally sonorous. They make a ringing sound when
    struck. Some examples are – Iron, Gold, Copper, Aluminum,
    Magnesium, and many more.
    Non-Metals
    • Non – metals are materials not holding the characteristics of metals,
    means they are not shiny, hard, malleable, ductile, etc. Many materials
    like coal and Sulphur are very soft and dull in appearance. They break
    down into very fine thin powdery mass on tapping with the hammer.
    They are neither in – sonorous and also are a very poor conductor of
    heat and electricity. Few examples of non – metals are carbon, oxygen,
    water, etc.
    Properties of Non-Metals
    Properties of Non-Metals
    • Non-Malleable and Ductile: non-metals are very brittle and soft as
    they can be broken down into powdery substances.
    • Poor Conduction: They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
    • Non-Lustrous: These have no metallic luster and do not reflect light.
    • Non-Sonorous: They do not produce ringing sounds.
    Uses of Metals and
    Non-Metals
    Uses of Metals
    • Metals are used for various purposes, from making wires and sheets.
    For example – Copper and aluminum wires in electrical equipment’s,
    especially for conduction of electricity.
    • Metals are also used in making automobiles, machinery, water boilers,
    industrial gadgets, etc.
    • The metals are used in making utensils and water boilers due to its
    property of being a good conductor of heat.

    Uses of Non-Metals
    • Many non-metals like chlorine, Sulphur, iodine are very useful for
    medicinal purposes.
    • Non-metal like oxygen is very essential for our life for respiration.
    • We use nitrogen phosphorus in fertilizers for better plant growth and
    enhance the fertility of the soil.
    • Non-metal like Sulphur is useful in crackers.
    • Chlorine and Fluorine are useful for the water purification purpose.
